SYSTEM
 ESTIMATED TOTAL WATER DEMAND
Design Criteria: Peak Public Water Supply Flow:
a) Total number of occupants: 1001 employees Average length of day = 16 hours
b) Daily Water Flow per Capita (for Office Building): 120
Peak hour demand = 3 hours
l/d/c 𝐿

c) 3-day worth of reserve water Average flow throughout the day = ℎ 𝑚𝑖𝑛 𝑠𝑒𝑐

𝑑 ℎ ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟
Computation:
= 0.9 l/s
a) Total Public Water Demand
Peak Hour Demand = (3 hours x average daily flow)
Number of Users * daily water flow per capita
= 2.70 l/s … 3 l/s
= 1001 * 51 liters
= 51,051 liters
Supply Tank Size
= 51,051 (0.001)
Water Tank Capacity available = 28 000 gal.
= 51.051 cu.m
=53 879 gal. / 28 000 gal.
b) 3 days reserve (51,051 liters)
= 2 tanks
=153,153 liters
Pump Room = 1/3 of Supply Tank
= 17 959
c) Total Public Water Demand + 3 days reserve
=51,051liters + 153,153 liters
** referred from the Philippine Local Water Utilities Rapid Feasibility Study
= 204,204 liters or 53,879 gallons
